    Wild game to dine upon and the chance to test your marksmanship are two reasons to participate in the First Annual CulturalClays Tournament to be held Thursday, Oct. 5 and Friday, Oct. 6 at Scarborough Bluff.
    Another reason is that the skeet shoot and wild game feats will benefit the Averitt Center for the Arts, said event spokesperson Delia Mobley.
    Thursday’s events include a wild game feast and “cultural cocktails” at Georgia Southern University’s raptor center. Cocktails begin at 6:30 p.m. and dinner, consisting of smoked wild boar, slow roasted buffalo brisket, fried quail, whole smoked salmon, grouper Charleston and  an assortment of side items and desserts, will be served at 7:15 p.m., she said.
    A silent auction will be held afterward.
    The skeet shoot tournament will be held Friday, with registration beginning at 7:45 a.m., preceding an 8 a.m. shotgun start.  Breakfast and lunch will be served, and there is a 5:30 p.m. score card deadline.
    The fee for a four-person team is $400 and includes four tee shirts, she said.
    Participants will not be charged for the wild game dinner, but spouses who attend must pay $40. Anyone not participating in the skeet shoot or who is not a spouse of a participant may attend the dinner at a cost of $50, she said.
    Prizes will be awarded for the first place team and high-scoring individual after the skeet shoot, which offers seven stations in a wooded setting. Two boxes of shells are recommended to compete the course.
